binding TEP. However, in the medium/long run, I could see the board establishing a framework for a board committee to write grants more autonomously without each and every grant having to be the topic of a board motion).</p>

<p class="x_xmsonormal">Circling back to the discussion at this week's board meeting regarding funds to support an in-person retreat for strategic planning, do you think it might be worth submitting a proposal to see if we could get funding through the Open
Infrastructure Fund? If our application were successful, we could support travel costs for all participants and possibly revisit the question of a consultant. I know there was a thought it would be difficult to find a consultant that would understand our niche
needs, but there are consultants out there that work with open source communities, and I'm confident the Board could explain the specific uniqueness that comes from a library-supported project. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Georgia",serif; color:#3F3F3F">In May, the IOI team launched calls for proposals for the
<a href="https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=989&qid=7899" target="_blank">
<span style="color:#04918D">Open Infrastructure Fund.</span></a> The Fund aims to strengthen sustainability and resilience and increase the adoption of open infrastructure worldwide. Our community co-designed the Fund through a series of participatory activities,
which increased the accessibility of funding and helped pilot a more transparent way of funding open infrastructure. The application deadline is July 31, 2023, so if interested, make sure to submit your proposal before then. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Georgia",serif; color:#3F3F3F">In June, we also held our second in-person workshop in Africa, adjacent to Open Repositories 2023. The workshop was a multi-sectoral forum to understand
how best to synergise the public and private sectors to commit additional resources for African research infrastructure. We have summarised the key points in a
<a href="https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=990&qid=7899" target="_blank">
<span style="color:#04918D">blog post</span></a> that we hope you will find insightful.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Georgia",serif; color:#3F3F3F">Internally, the IOI team has also been growing, with two new members joining in May and additional team members joining in the next few weeks. We have
also been doing some strategic realignment to ensure that we are responsive to the community we serve and put in place the required processes and systems to be more efficient. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Georgia",serif; color:#3F3F3F">For more on these stories and more, please dive into the newsletter. We are always interested in comments or suggestions from our community - please drop us a line if you’d like to

Fund, an initiative to strengthen sustainability and resilience and increase the adoption of open infrastructure globally. Funding of 5,000-25,000 USD is available to support projects with capacity building, governance, and critical shared infrastructure as
their focal areas. 60% of the grant funding has been reserved for Low and Middle-Income Economies as part of our resolve to bridge resourcing inequities. The deadline for applications is July 31, 2023.

infrastructures on the continent. This discussion was precipitated by <a href="https://investinopen.civicrm.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=995&qid=7899" target="_blank">
<span style="color:#04918D">our workshop in Accra, Ghana in March</span></a> where PPPs were suggested as a potential remedy to enhancing the sustainability of open research infrastructures. We invited a range of actors from the private sector, governments,
and academia to explore how we can synergize between the private and public sectors to come up with sustainable models for investing in research infrastructure. We summarized the key learnings from the workshop on the IOI website.
